The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and the Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine, Singapore (TCOMS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding today to strengthen Research & Development (R&D) collaboration and grow the talent pool for Singapore’s Maritime, Marine & Offshore Engineering, and other ocean sectors.

This partnership will involve staff exchanges between the two partners to leverage the talent and expertise in both organisations, in areas such as naval architecture, fluid-structure interaction, as well as maritime autonomy and control. TCOMS will host SIT students on their internships. SIT will also be able to access TCOMS’ R&D facilities, such as its ocean basin facility, for applied research and educational purposes. In addition, TCOMS and SIT will collaborate in applied research projects and events.
